CHAPTER 4 REACTIONS IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS4.7 (a) is a strong
electrolyte. The compound dissociates completely into ions in
solution. (b) is a nonelectrolyte. The compound dissolves in water,
but the molecules remain intact. (c) is a weak electrolyte. A small
amount of the compound dissociates into ions in water. When NaCl
dissolves in water it dissociates into Na and Cl ions. When the
ions are hydrated, the water molecules will be oriented so that the
negative end of the water dipole interacts with the positive sodium
ion, and the positive end of the water dipole interacts with the
negative chloride ion. The negative end of the water dipole is near
the oxygen atom, and the positive end of the water dipole is near
the hydrogen atoms. The diagram that best represents the hydration
of NaCl when dissolved in water is choice (c). Ionic compounds,
strong acids, and strong bases (metal hydroxides) are strong
electrolytes (completely broken up into ions of the compound). Weak
acids and weak bases are weak electrolytes. Molecular substances

4.11 (b) (d) nonelectrolyte strong electrolyte (strong base)
Since solutions must be electrically neutral, any flow of
positive species (cations) must be balanced by the flow of negative
species (anions). Therefore, the correct answer is (d). (a) Solid
NaCl does not conduct. The ions are locked in a rigid lattice
structure. (b) Molten NaCl conducts. The ions can move around in
the liquid state. (c) Aqueous NaCl conducts. NaCl dissociates
completely to Na (aq) and Cl (aq) in water.+

4.13
Measure the conductance to see if the solution carries an
electrical current. If the solution is conducting, then you can
determine whether the solution is a strong or weak electrolyte by
comparing its conductance with that of a known strong electrolyte.
Since HCl dissolved in water conducts electricity, then HCl(aq)
must actually exists as H (aq) cations and Cl (aq) anions. Since
HCl dissolved in benzene solvent does not conduct electricity, then
we must assume that the HCl molecules in benzene solvent do not
ionize, but rather exist as un-ionized molecules.+

this way, you can determine which element is oxidized (loses
electrons) and which element is reduced (gains electrons).

The oxidation number for hydrogen is +1 (rule 4), and for oxygen
is 2 (rule 3). The oxidation number for sulfur in S8 is zero (rule
1). Remember that in a neutral molecule, the sum of the oxidation
numbers of all the atoms must be zero, and in an ion the sum of
oxidation numbers of all elements in the ion must equal the net
charge of the ion (rule 6). H2S (2), S2
(2), HS (2) < S8 (0) < SO2 (+4) < SO3 (+6), H2SO4
(+6)
The number in parentheses denotes the oxidation number of
sulfur. 4.46 Strategy: In general, we follow the rules listed in
Section 4.4 of the text for assigning oxidation numbers. Remember
that all alkali metals have an oxidation number of +1 in ionic
compounds, and in most cases hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1
and oxygen has an oxidation number of 2 in their compounds.
Solution: All the compounds listed are neutral compounds, so the
oxidation numbers must sum to zero (Rule 6, Section 4.4 of the
text). Let the oxidation number of P = x. (a) (b) (c) x + 1 +

= 0, 3x = 15, x = +5
The molecules in part (a), (e), and (f) can be made by strongly
heating the compound in part (d). Are these oxidation-reduction
reactions? Check: In each case, does the sum of the oxidation
numbers of all the atoms equal the net charge on the species, in
this case zero? 4.47 See Section 4.4 of the text. (a) (c) (e) (g)

If nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent and zinc is a strong
reducing agent, then zinc metal will probably reduce nitric acid
when the two react; that is, N will gain electrons and the
oxidation number of N must decrease. Since the oxidation number of
nitrogen in nitric acid is +5 (verify!), then the
nitrogen-containing product must have a smaller oxidation number
for nitrogen. The only compound in the list that doesnt have a
nitrogen oxidation number less than +5 is N2O5, (what is the
oxidation number of N in N2O5?). This is never a product of the
reduction of nitric acid. Strategy: Hydrogen displacement: Any
metal above hydrogen in the activity series will displace it from
water or from an acid. Metals below hydrogen will not react with
either water or an acid. Solution: Only (b) Li and (d) Ca are above
hydrogen in the activity series, so they are the only metals in
this problem that will react with water.

In order to work this problem, you need to assign the oxidation
numbers to all the elements in the compounds. In each case oxygen
has an oxidation number of 2 (rule 3). These oxidation numbers
should then be compared to the range of possible oxidation numbers
that each element can have. Molecular oxygen is a powerful
oxidizing agent. In SO3 alone, the oxidation number of the element
bound to oxygen (S) is at its maximum value (+6); the sulfur cannot
be oxidized further. The other elements bound to oxygen in this
problem have less than their maximum oxidation number and can
undergo further oxidation. (a) (b) (c) Cu(s) + HCl(aq) no reaction,
since Cu(s) is less reactive than the hydrogen from acids. I2(s) +
NaBr(aq) no reaction, since I2(s) is less reactive than Br2(l).

Strategy: How many moles of NaNO3 does 250 mL of a 0.707 M
solution contain? How would you convert moles to grams? Solution:
From the molarity (0.707 M), we can calculate the moles of NaNO3
needed to prepare 250 mL of solution. 0.707 mol NaNO3 Moles NaNO3 =
250 mL soln = 0.1768 mol 1000 mL soln Next, we use the molar mass
of NaNO3 as a conversion factor to convert from moles to grams. M
(NaNO3) = 85.00 g/mol.0.1768 mol NaNO3 85.00 g NaNO3 = 15.0 g NaNO3
1 mol NaNO3
To make the solution, dissolve 15.0 g of NaNO3 in enough water
to make 250 mL of solution. Check: As a ball-park estimate, the
mass should be given by [molarity (mol/L) volume (L) = moles molar
mass (g/mol) = grams]. Let's round the molarity to 1 M and the
molar mass to 80 g, because we are simply making an estimate. This
gives: [1 mol/L (1/4)L 80 g = 20 g]. This is close to our answer of
15.0 g. 4.61 mol = M L 60.0 mL = 0.0600 Lmol MgCl 2 = 0.100 mol

In redox reactions the oxidation numbers of elements change. To
test whether an equation represents a redox process, assign the
oxidation numbers to each of the elements in the reactants and
products. If oxidation numbers change, it is a redox
reaction.(a)
On the left the oxidation number of chlorine in Cl2 is zero
(rule 1). On the right it is 1 in Cl (rule 2) and +1 in OCl (rules
3 and 5). Since chlorine is both oxidized and reduced, this is a
disproportionation redox reaction. The oxidation numbers of calcium
and carbon do not change. This is not a redox reaction; it is a
precipitation reaction. The oxidation numbers of nitrogen and
hydrogen do not change. This is not a redox reaction; it is an
acid-base reaction. The oxidation numbers of carbon, chlorine,
chromium, and oxygen do not change. This is not a redox reaction;
it doesnt fit easily into any category, but could be considered as
a type of combination reaction. The oxidation number of calcium
changes from 0 to +2, and the oxidation number of fluorine changes
from 0 to 1. This is a combination redox reaction.

First, you would accurately measure the electrical conductance
of pure water. The conductance of a solution of the slightly
soluble ionic compound X should be greater than that of pure water.
The increased conductance would indicate that some of the compound
X had dissolved. Iron(II) compounds can be oxidized to iron(III)
compounds. The sample could be tested with a small amount of a
strongly colored oxidizing agent like a KMnO4 solution, which is a
deep purple color. A loss of color would imply the presence of an
oxidizable substance like an iron(II) salt. The three chemical
tests might include: (1) (2) (3) Electrolysis to ascertain if
hydrogen and oxygen were produced, The reaction with an alkali
metal to see if a base and hydrogen gas were produced, and The
dissolution of a metal oxide to see if a base was produced (or a
nonmetal oxide to see if an acid was produced).

Since both of the original solutions were strong electrolytes,
you would expect a mixture of the two solutions to also be a strong
electrolyte. However, since the light dims, the mixture must
contain fewer ions than the + original solution. Indeed, H from the
sulfuric acid reacts with the OH from the barium hydroxide to form
water. The barium cations react with the sulfate anions to form
insoluble barium sulfate. 2H (aq) + SO4 (aq) + Ba (aq) + 2OH (aq)

Check with litmus paper, react with carbonate or bicarbonate to
see if CO2 gas is produced, react with a base and check with an
indicator. Titrate a known quantity of acid with a standard NaOH
solution. Since it is a monoprotic acid, the moles of NaOH reacted
equals the moles of the acid. Dividing the mass of acid by the
number of moles gives the molar mass of the acid. Visually compare
the conductivity of the acid with a standard NaCl solution of the
same molar concentration. A strong acid will have a similar
conductivity to the NaCl solution. The conductivity of a weak acid
will be considerably less than the NaCl solution.

You could test the conductivity of the solutions. Sugar is a
nonelectrolyte and an aqueous sugar solution will not conduct
electricity; whereas, NaCl is a strong electrolyte when dissolved
in water. Silver nitrate could be added to the solutions to see if
silver chloride precipitated. In this particular case, the

In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent gains one or more
electrons. In doing so, the oxidation number of the element gaining
the electrons must become more negative. In the case of chlorine,
the 1 oxidation number is already the most negative state possible.
The chloride ion cannot accept any more electrons; therefore,
hydrochloric acid is not an oxidizing agent. (a) An acid and a base
react to form water and a salt. Potassium iodide is a salt;
therefore, the acid and base are chosen to produce this salt.

isolate the KI. (b) Acids react with carbonates to form carbon

hydrogen carbonate ion, HCO3 , behaves as a Brnsted base to accept
a proton from the acid. HCO3 (aq) + H (aq) H2CO3(aq) H2O(l) +
CO2(g) The heat generated during the reaction of hydrogen carbonate
with the acid causes the carbonic acid, H2CO3, that was formed to
decompose to water and carbon dioxide. The reaction of the spilled
sulfuric acid with sodium hydroxide would produce sodium sulfate,
Na2SO4, and 2 water. There is a possibility that the Na2SO4 could
precipitate. Also, the sulfate ion, SO4 is a weak base; therefore,
the neutralized solution would actually be basic. H2SO4(aq) +
2NaOH(aq) Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) +
Also, NaOH is a caustic substance and therefore is not safe to
use in this manner. 4.127 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) A soluble sulfate
salt such as sodium sulfate or sulfuric acid could be added. Barium
sulfate would precipitate leaving sodium ions in solution.
Potassium carbonate, phosphate, or sulfide could be added which
would precipitate the magnesium cations, leaving potassium cations
in solution. Add a soluble silver salt such as silver nitrate. AgBr
would precipitate, leaving nitrate ions in solution. Add a solution
containing a cation other than ammonium or a Group 1A cation to
precipitate the phosphate ions; the nitrate ions will remain in
solution. Add a solution containing a cation other than ammonium or
a Group 1A cation to precipitate the carbonate ions; the nitrate
ions will remain in solution. Table salt, NaCl, is very soluble in
water and is a strong electrolyte. Addition of AgNO3 will
precipitate AgCl. Table sugar or sucrose, C12H22O11, is soluble in
water and is a nonelectrolyte. Aqueous acetic acid, CH3COOH, the
primary ingredient of vinegar, is a weak electrolyte. It exhibits
all of the properties of acids (Section 4.3). Baking soda, NaHCO3,
is a water-soluble strong electrolyte. It reacts with acid to
release CO2 gas. Addition of Ca(OH)2 results in the precipitation
of CaCO3. Washing soda, Na2CO310H2O, is a water-soluble strong
electrolyte. It reacts with acids to release CO2 gas. Addition of a
soluble alkaline-earth salt will precipitate the alkaline-earth
carbonate. Aqueous washing soda is also slightly basic (Section
4.3). Boric acid, H3BO3, is weak electrolyte and a weak acid. Epsom
salt, MgSO47H2O, is a water-soluble strong electrolyte. Addition of

Ammonia, NH3, is a sharp-odored gas that when dissolved in water is

with HCl gas to produce solid NH4Cl. Milk of magnesia, Mg(OH)2, is

From the molarity and volume of the final solution, we can
calculate the moles of KMnO4. Then, the mass can be calculated from
the moles of KMnO4.8.316 107 mol KMnO 4 250 mL = 2.079 107 mol KMnO

NaOH is much more expensive than CaO. Dolomite has the advantage
of being an additional source of magnesium that can also be
recovered.
The reaction between Mg(NO3)2 and NaOH is: Mg(NO3)2(aq) +
2NaOH(aq) Mg(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq) Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2,
precipitates from solution. Na and NO3 are spectator ions. This is
most likely a limiting reagent problem as the amounts of both
reactants are given. Lets first determine which reactant is the
limiting reagent before we try to determine the concentration of
ions remaining in the solution.1.615 g Mg(NO3 ) 2 1 mol Mg(NO3 )2 =

From the balanced equation, we need twice as many moles of NaOH
compared to Mg(NO3)2. We have more than twice as much NaOH (2
0.010888 mol = 0.021776 mol) and therefore Mg(NO3)2 is the limiting
reagent. + + NaOH is in excess and ions of Na , OH , and NO3 will
remain in solution. Because Na and NO3 are spectator ions, the
number of moles after reaction will equal the initial number of
moles. The excess moles of OH need to 2+ be calculated based on the
amount that reacts with Mg . The combined volume of the two
solutions is: 22.02 mL + 28.64 mL = 50.66 mL = 0.05066 L.[Na + ] =

Lets set up a table showing each reaction, the volume of
solution added, and the species responsible for any electrical
conductance of the solution. Note that if a substance completely
dissociates into +1 ions and 1 ions in solution, its conductance
unit will be twice its molarity. Similarly, if a substance
completely dissociates into +2 ions and 2 ions in solution, its
conductance unit will be four times its molarity.
